Among the weak in faith I become weak like one of them, in order to win them. So I become all things to all people, that I may save some of them by whatever means are possible.

Righteousness gives life, but violence takes it away.

In the same way, I tell you, the angels of God rejoice over one sinner who repents."

Watch yourself and watch your teaching. Keep on doing these things, because if you do, you will save both yourself and those who hear you.

My friends, if any of you wander away from the truth and another one brings you back again,

remember this: whoever turns a sinner back from the wrong way will save that sinner's soul from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.

In the same way you wives must submit yourselves to your husbands, so that if any of them do not believe God's word, your conduct will win them over to believe. It will not be necessary for you to say a word,

because they will see how pure and reverent your conduct is.
